Editor,

It’s time to end crony politics in the Island County Sheriff’s Office by electing Lane Campbell as sheriff.

Lane is a leader, a cop’s cop, who will end the department’s chronic low morale and persistent high attrition rate. Lane Campbell is also an activist who will challenge the Island County commissioners to allocate a fair share of new revenue to law enforcement and public safety over endless increases in social spending. And Lane Campbell is an innovator who will modernize and streamline police services.

Our sheriff’s office desperately needs a fresh start. Lane Campbell will make that happen.
